    Default The joy of Acknowledgement!

    Several weeks ago, I posted a photo of a quilt that I had made for the DD of very dear friends. We attended the wedding last Sunday. On Wednesday, I received an email from the bride's father about the gift--his astonishment that I would have taken the time and effort for his daughter. On Thursday, I received a phone call from the Bride. She could not wait to send a thank you note. She and her husband had slept under the quilt the night they opened the gift and loved it! I think I done good!

    BTW it turns out that they both love rainbows!! Serendipity!!

    That's wonderful, particularly in this day and age when thank you notes and phone calls are nearly extinct.

    That is terrific!! I love it when people appreciate what you have done. And I want to add that I think it's gorgeous too. I made two little wall hangings a couple of years ago, for two babies born in our church membership. I got notes from both sets of parents. It felt good.
